26 APRIL 2024 New Digital Solutions for Surface Mining Adapted from Information by Epiroc With over ten years of experience and 40+ installations globally, Epiroc is taking the safety technologies (previously called Mobilaris Mining Intelligence) to the surface mining market by expanding its digital solutions. The launch for surface mines includes the new release for safe blasting, called Blast Support. The offering entails a new release of Situational Awareness. Based on Epiroc’s world-leading technology for underground mines, the surface-based capabilities are smart solutions to help plan, execute, and monitor surface mining operations. The offering integrates 3D situational awareness with open-space positioning and satellite imaging to create a 3D map of the blast area, including surface blast zones and tunnels, to ensure improved personnel safety during blasting. “The world’s best digital decision system for underground mines has just surfaced,” said Hans Wahlquist, Epiroc’s global director of product management. “Our technology-agnostic solutions are improving safety at mining sites but also increasing efficiency by reducing the time spent looking for people or assets.” Situational Awareness comes with a new feature called Zone-based Messages, which enables personnel in the control room to send messages from the Situational Awareness application to people in designated areas of the mine. These messages can be information, warnings, or alarm messages. They can be persistent messages in dangerous areas or, in some cases, instant messages. Zone-based messages can also be automated through Event Automation scripts triggered by sensors for ground stability, etc. “Before pushing the blast button, it is crucial to ensure that everyone is at a safe distance. But at the same time, it is important to blast on time so as not to jeopardize the next shift's opportunities to deliver. With Blast Support, you can evacuate designated areas for blasting. With real-time tracking of people through tags, you can be sure that the area is cleared,” explained Magnus Nilsson, product manager for Epiroc.
